Where: Mindil Beach, Darwin, Northern Territory
If perpetual summer and crocodiles are right up your alley, then Darwin should be on your to-visit list – more specifically, Mindil Beach for sublime Northern Territory sunsets. Located just a five-minute drive from the town centre on the western side of the peninsula, Mindil Beach offers eye-wateringly pretty sundowns over the Timor Sea. The stretch boasts tropical oceanside gardens, as well as the Mindil Beach Sunset Market during the dry season. Here, you’ll be spoiled with more than 200 stalls slinging both local delicacies and international cuisine heavy on Southeast Asian flavours. Spicy food and a spicy sundown is a winning combo.
